Interbike Expo - LIKEaBIKE

For many parents, the task of teaching their child how to ride a bike can be as daunting as potty training them [but hopefully with less mess]. Bicycles with training wheels have long been the standard, but while training wheels help a child mimic the mechanics of pedaling a bicycle, the extra wheels prevent them from developing what is truly needed to ride a bicycle, a sense of balance.

LIKEaBIKE is marketed as a "unique toy for children between the ages of two and five," but it is also highly beneficial in the development of their motor skills and sense of balance. All 8 models are structurally similar with each featuring a limited steering angle that helps the child right themselves.

LIKEaBIKE also offers several accessories such as a satchel, a pouch, and a wagon [all seen below].






To see LIKEaBIKE in action, play the movie of 4-year old Josef here.

I love these! They'll really make a difference in getting little ones riding sooner.
